I understand there are fibreglass doors that resist moisture quite
well. My budget won't allow replacing the doors so I have considered
stripping the masonite off the frames and replacing with a
fibreglass sheet. Does this sound like a reasonable approach"

Where are you going to get a fiberglass sheet? �The only ones I recall
offhand are the corrugated jobbies. �You could get a gallon of
polyester resin and some 6-9oz. fiberglass cloth and cover the
masonite but it would be a lot of work and wouldn't be cheap. �Plus,
you'd have to know how to do it.

Any btdt? �Any ideas how to make a lasting repair

Go buy a new door. �You can get a steel entry door for about $125.
